Thanks for one more very interesting and intriguing article of yours! : ) Your KDramas 101 series is such a brilliant idea! It made me realize that, apart from talented actors, a decent foil and character development, unpredictability and motivations are needed for a drama to be on my top-list. Looking forward to part 2 (how to create a challenging cliché-free plot, maybe?!)
Sung Dong Il truly is an amazing actor!!! His look, his micro-expressions, even his breathing are too sincere, too emotional, too real... He devotes himself to every role wholeheartedly...
Kim So Yeon is so beautiful and stylish!!! What a successful comeback! Kim Ye Joon as Han Min Joon is such a cutie!!! And what an incredible acting from this kid - probably the next Nam Da Reum ?!
The first two eps were a bit confusing, but after ep.04 the setting seems quite promising! But, why do they cast Ha Suk Jin with the same mannerism, again and again?
'Lovey', 'hun', 'dears' and 'sweetheart': you lost all your reasoning, once again! HOW CAN YOU PARTICIPATE IN A COMMUNITY WHEN YOU'RE NOT ABLE TO RESPECT ITS MEMBERS AND COMMUNICATE IN A POLITE MANNER??? IS BELITTLING THE ONE WHO DISAGREES WITH YOU YOUR WAY OF SHOWING YOUR AGEISM ISSUES??? I guess attacking MDL members is your only way to vent yourself, and I really feel sorry for you, but how can you say to @green_tokki: "you too will get old (if you're lucky LOL)" ?! Really, such a petty thing to say... Perhaps the only ones to blame are ourselves, for wasting our time (once again) to bother, trying to talk some sense into you... Go on and keep on attacking everyone however you like, under the pretense of enlightening us, and you will soon find out that INDIFFERENCE is our best weapon!
It seems to me that this drama has run out of everything: plot, romance and chemistry, but mainly our time, interest, and patience... P.S. Bae Soo Bong seriously needs immediate psychological treatment!
Ep.12, Im Ba Reun: "Alcohol didn't do anything. Those who get drunk and cause a scene are at fault. […] If you aren't confident, drink alone in a cell." Finally, k-entertainment industry starts dealing with the well-established and widely-promoted concept that drunk behavior is manly and totally acceptable/forgivable!
One of the most enjoyable dramas of 2018 so far! Its plot is so uniquely unexpected: surreal, quirky and funny! All actors and, especially, the three main leads are doing a marvelous job. And Jang Hyuk... Well, Mr. Light really (out)shines in it! With or without his sunglasses he pierces through our hearts with his penetrating eyes...
It's been a long while since I felt really sympathetic towards a second lead villain: Choi Min Soo's badass-performance of Ahn Oh Jo was indeed the best element of this drama!
Ah, thank you so so much!Your words really touched my heart ~And no, I wouldn't change this for an office job…
Yeah, doing so would be such a waste... But, on the other side, being a warm-hearted "Ugly Duckling" and working in a big conglomerate, perhaps you'll be able to find your hubby as the arrogant CEO, so keep on watching rom-com k-dramas for inspiration, hehehe :)
Such a beautiful and inspiring article! It's a really rare and heartwarming story from a young, promising student! Many-many congratulations for being inspired and choosing to follow a difficult and challenging humane calling rather than a well-paid office job (like most K-Dramas depict as dream-jobs! - your mistake for not choosing to watch a cheesy rom-com ~) I wish all (or at least some) of my students were as mature and motivated as you! From the bottom of my heart, all the best of luck in your life and your career! Dearest @Ugly Duckling, you are indeed in the process of becoming the most 'Beautiful Swan'!
Ms Yoon is probably the most powerful and charismatic female lead of this year! Smooth and delicate, yet determined, competent and, if needed, a badass! Slowly but steadily she is taking over the male police kingdom...
So far a smooth, easy-watch rom-com, with some typical, yet tolerable cliches and a main couple with pretty good chemistry and very comfortable together. I didn't know that Nam Goong Min can be so smexy!!!

Chil Seong is the best hyung: selfless and supportive... the coolest friend ever!
What a brilliant casting!!!
Can't wait to see them together!!!

Quite intriguing story, nice pace, cute chemistry.

Always waiting for them - and Mi So's ponytail - to appear!
